Auto high beams still comically bad

As a fellow motorist in CA where there are a lot of 3's and Y's, there is definitely something wrong with the auto high beam implementation. Large percentage of 3/Y's running with high beams on crowded freeways. I don't know if there's any feedback mechanism to report bugs like this (I'm not a tesla owner myself) but it's dangerous for everyone else out there.
Nope. thats just people who need to adjust their headlights down 2 notches. All new SW versions beta and non beta, have vastly improved auto high beams. unless youre seeing them flashing at you. which doesnt happen.

Yup this is more likely.

I haven't had mine kick high beam to any car for a very long time now. I haven't received any flashes from incoming cars either, which used to happen until that update came which fixed the auto high beam issue.

I was getting flashed by oncoming cars often with extra weight in the rear trunk. Adjusted headlights down 6 clicks, all good now.
Our 2022 model Y with conventional headlamps has seem OK for aiming without adjustment. But our 2023 model 3 with the matrix lights arrived aimed so low that we thought it unsafe to drive on our neighborhood streets (not street lights, very little light spill from houses, slight non-flatness giving the headlight a problem seeing what is past the current dip bottom. I forget how many clicks up in total I adjusted them, but it is about 12. Now I can drive in the neighborhood, and I don't get complaint flashes from other cars.
 
I just recently picked up my 18 M3P, And I live in Northern Arizona where there are zero street lights. Tonight I was traveling from Flagstaff back to my place about 70 mi south, on a dark country road, and the auto headlamps were running with autopilot and they were dismally bad. I don't think the high beams stayed on for more than two or three minutes at a time, more often flashing between high and low a couple of times a minute. I want this to work so badly, but it doesn't look very promising anytime in the near future! I can only guess that it's the road markers that are reflective on the side of the road that are throwing it out.
